HOUSTON (ICIS)–China’s latest list of proposed tariffs against the US covers hundreds of chemicals and plastics, with the first batch taking effect in a little more than a week.
In all, China has proposed tariffs on $75bn of goods, with the first batch taking place on 1 September. Some will receive tariffs of 5% and others will receive tariffs of 10%.
The second batch of tariffs will take effect on 15 December. Like the first, some products will receive tariffs of 5% and some will receive tariffs of 10%.
